Instrumentation and scientific tools

Analytical chemistry tools.

Techniques for trace analysis of aqueous samples. A thermal combustion technique for the analysis of Black (BC), Elemental (EC) and Organic Carbon (OC) in molten ice samples. Sample preparation facilities to handle ice samples at -18°C. A fast Electromechanical Lightweight Ice Coring System (FELICS).

Surface chemistry tool PROTAC.

The aim of PROTRAC project is to provide the short-lived radioactive isotopes 13N,11C and 15O to our laboratories for experiments in atmospheric chemistry. To study interactions between gas molecules and surface we use highly sensitive technique which employes radioactive-labelled molecules. The isotopes are produced by irradiation of gas stream in a target by proton beam.
